We need to recruit a big, tall WR like it is its own position. The way that the game is played today, you have to have one of your top 3 WRs be a guy who can go up and get the ball in the Red Zone. Just like you need a FB or OT or FS, you need a tall WR, especially for the Red Zone - and we also need a pass catching TE.

How we got to this point is inexplicable, really. I am glad that the other guys are stepping up, but we need a Terrance Toliver or even a Rueben Randle (6-2) on the team.

no doubt it would be nice to have a tall target in the corner of the end zone. This would help our red zone efficiency. Jump ball one on one in corner of end zone when QB throws to that spot very hard to defend, especially if they got to protect against a Full back like copeland running up the middle.

We are definitely doing our best to get tall receivers. Quantavious Leslie is a 6'4" JUCO guy who can provide immediate help, DeSean Smith is a 6'4" TE who will help, and we are recruiting a 6'6" ATH in RSJ. It's obvious we wish we had one this year, but were trying to remedy that. Don't see the need for this thread b
